Naming Conventions

Define the ID pattern auto-generated when a user creates an item. Patterns produce IDs like LMT-SUB-2026-0247.

How conventions are used

When a user clicks New in any module, the default pattern below auto-generates the next ID. The user can pick an alternate pattern or override the ID if enforcement is off.

Auto-fill on create

ID is reserved when the form opens.

Validated on save

Rejects collisions and bad formats.

Enforced by role

Toggle below to allow manual override.

Enforce pattern — users cannot edit auto-generated IDs
